Ice and Snow Storm Strands Carolinas in Power Outages
Millions shivered as one of the worst ice and snow storms in years blanketed the East. Up to a foot of snow fell from New Mexico to North Carolina, triggering widespread outages, travel disruptions, and school closures across multiple states. At least 22 deaths blamed on the storm include a Virginia woman found frozen after sliding off a road. Carolina Power reported 466,000 outages. Duke Power warned days to restore service. Govs Easley and Hodges declared emergencies, with debris removal and utility repairs sped. Airports from Charlotte to New York faced major delays and cancellations as travelers endured long waits and rerouted flights.
